Welcome to 3D Professor

*Exclusive* AMD (ATI) FirePro (FireGL) V5700 Mid Range Professional Graphics Card

Introduction Continued

Therefore we move onwards with a bit more in depth explanation of the ATI FirePro (FireGL) V5700

Features	Benefits
Unified Shader Architecture	Intelligent management of computation resources enables real-time rendering of more complex and realistic images
AutoDetect Technology	As a user moves between applications, or opens new ones, the graphics driver settings are automatically configured for maximum performance

A point of note. Highlighted in Red for the System Integrators and OEM’s. Keeping it low on power this means we see a reduction of load from the PSU and PCI Ex rail and most importantly no requirement at all for an “add in” additional power connector normally associated with cards at this level.

Finally we move onwards to what everyone has been waiting for a look at the beast in the flesh.

PLEASE NOTE – The pictures shown are of the engineering sample sent for test and the actual fan and cooling array will be different on the final shipping product
